There are many reasons for the formation of cystic acne. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine believes that the face, nose, chest and back belong to the lungs. This disease is often caused by wind-heat in the lung meridian blocking the skin; or due to overeating of fatty, greasy, and spicy foods, heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach, endogenous dampness and heat, fumigating the face; or due to the youthful body, blood and energy, rising yang heat, fighting against wind and cold, blocking the skin. In addition, the blockage of hair follicle opening caused by external application of cosmetics is an important cause of this disease. The specific causes of cystic acne are as follows:

1. Endocrine system: Mainly the increase in androgen secretion level, which promotes the active and increased sebum secretion. Women are mainly affected by hormones before their menstrual period. Some small pimples will appear on their faces before or during their menstrual period, and they will disappear after their menstrual period. Emotions such as tension, anxiety and lack of sleep can also lead to endocrine disorders and cause acne.

2. The skin is not thoroughly cleaned: Blockage of the opening of the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles is an important factor in the pathogenesis. When hair follicles are blocked, Propionibacterium acnes multiplies in large numbers, causing inflammation and forming inflammatory papules, the most basic lesion of acne (pimples). Inside the blocked sebaceous follicles, a large amount of sebum and pus cells destroy the structure of the sebaceous follicles, forming nodules, cysts and cysts, which eventually damage the skin and even form scars.

3. Excessive keratinization of sebaceous gland ducts.

4. Food climate: Peanuts, chocolate, fried foods, sunlight, and high temperatures can have a worsening effect on some patients. There are also constipation and gastrointestinal discomfort, which can cause abnormal gastrointestinal symptoms.

5. The mind is in a state of tension for a long time, overworked, and lacking sleep and rest for a long time.

6. Chemical drugs: such as oral or topical adrenocortical hormone, certain cosmetics, industrial oils, polychlorinated biphenyls, certain anti-tuberculosis drugs, etc., may cause acne.

7. Genetic factors, etc.
